Yup, good little plane once I learned some of its little quirks. Been toying with the idea of popping a small fan in it, adding NACA intakes, and a lightweight thrust tube just to see if it is possible.

RE: AEROWORKS B-D 5 -B PUSHER JET.
thanks for the info. i like them because i have had the stingray before. very nice. i like pusher type. have a 27-q stryker now. i figure for 100.00 it's balsa..........not junk foam and is alot better than some of these df models that claim to fly so good for around 100.00.....120.00 . a friend bought a venom f-86 70. flaps, brakes ,retracts, lites, air retracts at that. what a piece of junk. half of the servos didn't work as well as the thing leaked air through thr lines and valve. any way when my foam stryker gets ugly i'll be replacing it with a BD-5-B...THANKS AGAIN...RON

update.plane needed nose weight to balance and them some 1 1/2 oz more. needs to be alittle nose heavy by 3/8 " over there c/g. doesn't slow down good, low speed handeling sucks. takes off good. front wheel and nose gear won't take landings on a grass field very good without putting alot of stress on the front wheel and servo gears in my hs-81 already broke servo gears. there is some air, flutter at high speed turns. has a 2700 kv e flight 6 pole. flies 65-70 mph. gets small fast. my stryker flies 100 % better and faster. nice plane otherwise..............RON
